473mL can, pours a clear pale blonde with a large, rapidly diminishing white head. Nose is full of floral dry hops, gentle wild yeast, and dry green apple skins. Flavour is very dry, with crisp apple skins, a hint of wild yeast, gentle acidity, and accentuated by a little floral dry hopping. There's not a huge depth to this, but it is nice and dry, and the hopping is done alright. Decent.

Pours a very tepid pale straw with minimal foam. Soft apple on the nose, slightly sweet, nothing else coming through. Flavour is soft apple, mellow sweetness, soft yeast backbone lingers. Full finish, but could use more carbonation. Drinkable but nothing stands out.

Kind of a coppery rosé body and okay foam. Slight apple sweetness, vague berry skin. Flavour is tart apple with some sour berry, slight butter. Good carbonation but otherwise a little thin. Okay but pretty underwhelming in all departments.

Nice clear yellow body and minimal foam, tart hop funk on cider that comes across like a lager in fact. Flavour is more hops, grassy, overlapping a reasonably sharp and dry apple cider. Nice dry finish. Not bad, more hop forward than usual for a cider as far as I've seen.

Very pale yellow with no head. Touch of sulfur, yellow apple and peel. Touch sour, apple peel and pretty dry. A bit sulphuric again, but not too bad.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5

Pours with really nice foam on a light clear gold body, heavy carbonation of small bubbles. The aroma is dry cider with nice oak and vanilla notes, rye whisky as well, very nicely balanced. Flavour is tart dry apple cider with modest rye whiskey on the back end, apple taking centre stage. Nice dry finish but ends up a bit too boozy. Nonetheless all things considered this is quite nice. 750ml bottle listed at 8.0% abv.

Draught at the Parallel 49, Vancouver
Very pale yellow, clean. Strong cider aroma, clean, with a hint of plastic. Very dry mouthfeel; banal flavour, with mild tartness, and mineral finish.
One more boring BC cider.

Draught at Container, Vancouver, as Higher Education 2019
Pale blond colour. Mild lemony and funky character, mild acidity, but also quite weak, and short in the finish.
Not the worst BC cider…
